Bullet with separable elements

ABSTRACT

Disclosed is a bullet with separable elements or projectiles which upon impact with an animal or human target, this bullet, having a high kinetic energy and under the influence of inertia, divides into 2-6 elements. The respective linear velocities of the elements are influenced by the variations in size and shape of the elements. When the bullet hits the target, the change in momentum is sufficient to break the individual or combination of internal or external connectors such as the Kevlar belts or internal rod connectors. Based on the differences in linear velocities, shapes and/or sizes the side elements proceed to varying depths within the target causing greater damage compared to a single trajectory bullet.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS

Embodiments of the present invention relate to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/988,052 filed May 2, 2014, entitled “Bullet with Separable Elements (New Method)”, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein and which is a basis for a claim of priority.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the field of ammunition, particularly to hollow-point bullets for use in rifles, machine guns, and handguns with calibers from 4 to 9 (or more) millimeters, and more specifically for a new design for constructing a bullet that has two to five separate elements, with a new method of fastening the side elements; used in all types of arms.

2. Background of the Invention

Presently, the use of many hollow-point bullets in military engagements is prohibited. However, hollow-points bullets are frequently used in counter-terrorism actions, where swiftness and lethality are vital to success.

It is well known that a large percentage of bullets go through a human targets because bullets have a high kinetic energy that they generally cannot spend while causing injury inside the human body. In fact, the majority of fired bullets still have the kinetic energy to penetrate 1 or 2 other human targets after going through the initial target. That is, a bullet fired at one human target has the potential to also hit unintended human targets. In addition, the high kinetic energy of most bullets makes it possible for them to cause unintended collateral damage to property (e.g., walls, cars, etc.) after going through the initial human target.

Another reason for the high probability of collateral damage with the bullets currently in use is that once the bullet goes through a human target, it still largely possesses its original mass while continuing to cause damage along its line of fire. Reducing the bullet calibers to 4-4.45 millimeters to address this issue is not presently feasible because of the need to reach an initial velocity that is sufficient to allow the bullet to achieve the amount of kinetic energy necessary to penetrate the target.

Militaries around the globe are not presently committed towards reducing the mass of bullets since a conditional compromise has been achieved among a number of factors, including the mass of the bullets, their initial velocity, their form factor, and international agreements governing the use of ammunition in armed conflict. The present invention will increase the efficiency of eliminating a target, by allowing users to deliver more lethal force with less ammunition.

In the case of pistol bullets with at least two separable parts once the bullet hits the target, the outcome is that we get two or more projectiles within the body. When you hit the target with the bullet that has two or more separable parts, you should expect the movement of the parts/projectiles of the bullet to spread out into divergent trajectories. For instance in an embodiment of a bullet with five separating parts, the result is five divergent trajectories.

An increase in the number of elements/projectiles within the target will result in an enhanced severe trauma to the target; followed by an instant immobilization of the target.

The difficulties in the art solved with the present embodiments relate to the ability to have a bullet with multiple projectiles connected in such a way to maintain its shape and aerodynamic properties until striking the target and breaking into separate projectiles traveling along separate trajectories. The problems in the art solved with the present embodiment relate to the novel side-fixing assembly embodiments of the projectile/elements.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

The goals of this invention are: (1) to better harness the kinetic energy of a bullet, in order to increase the damage done to the target; (2) to immediately incapacitate a target by delivering a painful shock of the highest magnitude; (3) to ensure that the lethal force dealt by a single bullet causes injuries that are beyond recovery, making it unnecessary to fire additional shots; and (4) to lower the risk of collateral damage to other people and property (building walls, vehicle hulls, cars, etc.) in the vicinity of the target.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a novel bullet manufactured to include one or more projectiles interconnected to maintain shape and aerodynamics until impact; wherein the interconnection is achieved internally to the projectiles and/or externally to the projectiles.

In embodiments with internal interconnections, the internal connections are based on an internal rod attachment system which connects the projectiles to each other during firing and flight but have a weak point or break point which breaks the rod and accompanying connections upon impact.

In embodiments with external interconnections the external interconnections are based on a string and glue connection system contained within a string groove on the external surface of the bullet and its accompanying projectiles or elements.

Additional embodiments relate to various arrangements of external and internal interconnectors such as one external and one internal connector, or two internal connectors, and the like.

Further additional embodiments include a variety of projectile features based on total number of projectiles including two, three, four or five projectiles.

Yet further additional embodiments relate to projectiles of varying sizes and shapes thus assisting with the variable trajectory pathways of the projectiles within the target.

Additionally, in order to improve the effectiveness of eliminating targets with bullets (for rifles, machine guns, and handguns) while conserving ammunition, the following embodiments related to the methods and manufacturing of a bullet with highly separable elements is disclosed.

The manufacture of bullets with separable elements requires:

The creation of design documentation for the initial manufacturing process, specifically geared towards utilizing manual labor for manufacturing.

A production based on the chosen scheme (separate bullet tip vs. an integral central impact element assembly).

Checking tolerances and allowances.

Correction of design documentation, if necessary.

Fitting the bullets into standard shell casings.

Field testing.

Development of a mechanical labor method for manufacturing bullets for specific customer orders (i.e., caliber, quantity, etc.)

The embodied bullets can be manufactured in standard calibers and dimensions, but will possesses fundamentally different characteristics from other bullets;

When a central impact element is present, the central impact element contains a tip made from a hard alloy and provides sufficient penetration and a sufficiently flat tip;

The penetration effectiveness of the central impact element can be improved by hardening the alloy with a chemical process.

The side elements lean on the saddle portions on the bottom of the central impact element and may be connected externally to each other with Kevlar string, nanotech glue, and a planarization layer or internally with each other via an internal rod connector mechanism.

The tip of the central impact element may be manufactured from a different material than the rest of the central impact element, which can, among other things, achieve sufficient bullet penetration depth.

The kinetic energy of the central impact element will be mostly spent on penetrating the outer layer of the target, while the kinetic energy of the side elements will be spent destroying a large volume of internal organs.

The separation of the side elements from the central element occurs because of a sharp drop in the velocity of the central element upon impact with the target, a sharp axial displacement of the side elements relative to the bullet's center of mass, and the simultaneous breaking of the Kevlar belts (Kevlar strings, varnish, and the planarization level) and/or breaking of the internal interconnecting rods. The separation is practically instantaneous upon impact on the target. Each separated element then causes massive trauma to internal organs of the target.

Because this bullet will damage 2-3 times the amount of internal organs compared to a hollow point bullet, the effective lethality of this bullet is significantly higher, a single shot will be sufficient to take down a target.

When an embodied bullet of the present invention is shot out of the barrel of a rifle, machine gun, or handgun, the bullet itself and its individual parts that will fragment on impact all have the same velocity and kinetic energy. The potential energy of the bullet at this moment is:

W=M×V ²

Where:

W—kinetic energy of the bullet at the time it leaves the barrel;

M—total mass of the bullet

V²—velocity of the bullet squared

The total mass of a bullet with separable elements is practically the same as that of a regular bullet. For a bullet with separable elements, the total mass of the bullet is the sum of its separable elements:

M=M1+M2+M3+M4+M5+M6+ . . . +Mi

Where: 2<Mi<i

The central impact element of the bullet needs to provide the following:

The penetration of dense outer layers and the delivery of the side elements of the bullet through the created opening;

The separation of side elements due to the difference between the velocities of the side elements and the central impact element.

In other words, the side elements will separate when the central impact element hits the target, continue to travel on trajectories different from the original line of fire, and in this manner damage 15-20 liters of internal organs. The resulting effect is similar to damage caused by armaments filled with shrapnel (i.e., each shrapnel element traveling on a vector from the center of an explosion is similar to each side element in this invention traveling on a vector from the point where the central impact element hits the target). However, shrapnel elements tend to be circular in form. In the present invention, the side elements of the bullets have well-pronounced, sharpened front and side edges. For example, a handgun bullet with two separable elements or projectiles divides into two fragments, which essentially results in two bullets having diverging trajectories on impact with the target.

The manufacture of bullets with separable elements requires:

These bullets can be manufactured in standard calibers and dimensions, but will possesses fundamentally different characteristics from other bullets.

The penetration effectiveness of the central impact element can be improved by hardening the alloy with a chemical process.

The side elements lean on the saddle portions on the bottom of the central impact element and are connected to each other with Kevlar string, nanotech glue, and a planarization layer.

The tip of the central impact element may be manufactured from a different material than the rest of the central impact element, which can, among other things, achieve sufficient bullet penetration depth.

The kinetic energy of the central impact element will be mostly spent on penetrating the outer layer of the target, while the kinetic energy of the side elements will be spent destroying a large volume of internal organs.

The separation of the side elements from the central element occurs because of a sharp drop in the velocity of the central element upon impact with the target, a sharp axial displacement of the side elements relative to the bullet's center of mass, and the simultaneous breaking of the Kevlar belts (Kevlar strings, varnish, and the planarization level). The separation is practically instantaneous upon impact on the target. Each separated element then causes massive trauma to internal organs of the target.

Because this bullet will damage 2-3 times the amount of internal organs compared to a hollow point bullet, the effective lethality of this bullet is significantly higher, a single shot will be sufficient to take down a target.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIGS. 1-14 show an embodied handgun or small caliber rifle bullet. In this embodiment, the bullet is separated into two elements or projectiles, larger projectile 7 and smaller projectile 8 (See FIG. 2). Smaller projectile or element 8 sits on top of the lower stem 13 of element 7 (see FIGS. 3, 5 and 7). A ring groove 7.5 is used to connect elements 7 and 8 together using Kevlar Belts 10.5 comprising Kevlar strings 9, varnish, and a planarization layer (See FIG. 13). FIGS. 9-11 show smaller element 8, which also has a ring groove 7.5. As shown in FIG. 3 the elements connect at a contact surface line 11.5. FIG. 5 additionally shows an extension portion 13 of element 7 which mates with an opening or saddle shaped opening 13.5 of element 8 shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 11.

FIG. 14 shows the directions of travel for elements 7 and 8 after separation. During the initial moments, the trajectories lie in the same plane, with velocities V¹ and V², respectively.

The drawings in FIGS. 1-14 depict an assembled, ready to use, bullet type such as a “PM Makarov”. Given the small size of the bullet, the bullet consists of two separable parts 7 and 8 the two parts are connected using Kevlar belts 10.5 (See blow up of FIG. 13 specifically) placed within the groove or annular zone 7.5.

FIGS. 15-18 portray the “LUGER” type bullet embodiments wherein the separable elements are also connected using Kevlar belts.

FIGS. 19-23 show another embodied bullet design, in which the opposing elements 7 and 8 are bonded by an internal connecting element 8.5. Wherein the connecting element 8.5 can be made of metal, plastic, as well as ceramic metal. The heavy deceleration upon impact, causes great stress to the connecting materials; this causes the tear and breaking of the material along a weakened connector point 9.5. The weakened portion of the connector point 9.5 as shown in FIG. 21 is either weakened by comprising a different bonding material, or structurally (as shown) wherein the connecting element 8.5 is scored or perforated or narrowed to be a structural weak point. The weakened portion of the connector point 9.5 lines up with the alignment point 11.5 which features the surface of contact of the two opposing elements 7 and 8 as shown in FIG. 19. FIG. 23 shows the breaking that occurs at the weakened portion of the connector point 9.5 once the bullet impacts a target and the two separable elements of the bullet veer off in alternative pathways.

FIGS. 24-35 show a rifle or a large pistol bullet, in which the separable elements larger element 7 and smaller element 8 are bound by the connecting element 8.5. In this case, the bullet has two separable parts 7 and 8 that scatter upon hitting the target. Again the weakened portion 9.5 of the connector 8.5 lines up with the connecting point of elements 7 and 8. The general view of such a bullet with the casing is shown in FIGS. 33-35.

1.4 is the tip of the central impact element;

3 is the side elements;

G is the shell casing of a rifle bullet;

The side elements 3, cover each side of the central impact element 1. After a rigid fixation, the assembly is held together either with Kevlar bands 10.5 automatically tied together around the ring grooves 7.5 with Kevlar strings 9 (shown in previous FIG. 13). The necessary amount of Kevlar string is determined empirically in the first stage. Afterwards, a quickly drying varnish and planarization layer is applied. The final step in the process is making geometric measurements and sanding down the surface of the ring rims ring grooves 7.5. The Kevlar strings 9 around the ring groove 7.5 form the Kevlar band or belt 10.5.

The ring grooves 10.5 are either machined or made during the process of casting the central impact element 1 and side elements 3, on the top and the bottom and are used as tying points for the Kevlar strings, as well as the application of the planarization layer flush with the contours of the bullet.

Another embodiment of the larger pistol or rifle bullets as shown in FIGS. 36-39 utilize two internal connectors 8.5 to connect side elements 3 to the central impact element 1.

FIG. 40 shows another embodied of a larger caliber bullet wherein the bullet has 5 components (parts).

The surface contact 9.5 between two parts of the bullets of the saddle shaped protrusion can have a flat shape as well. In this case, the surface of contact is flat unlike the curved surface contact displayed on FIGS. 45 and 46.

In regards to FIG. 48. This variant of the bullet has two components (two parts) 7 and 8. These two elements (two parts) are joined with each other with one rod element 8.5. With that, the surface of contact between two elements (parts) of the bullet is flat.
